Last day of May!

Wow, I can't believe May is almost over!! This year is just flying by! I am catching up on some of my pictures from the last week. We enjoyed touring some sites around here on Thursday - an old house that has been turned into a museum (I had my bridal portraits taken here, but had never toured it.) and we also toured a Civil War prisoner of war camp site. Thursday was also my mom's birthday so we went out to eat with them and then to my parents for cake and gifts. We had bought Kim Collingsworth's new Sunday Morning Ivories cd at the concert in March. Mom saw it then, but by her birthday she had forgotten all about it! It was such a nice "surprise."

Friday we went to Dallas to visit the Ancient Treasures of the Holy Land Exhibit. We couldn't take pictures in the exhibit, but there was a Bible exhibit outside, and we took a few pictures of it. The Ancient Treasures was really neat, we had headphones to listen to the comments at all the different stops. It was very well done and very Biblical! They talked about how archeology just verifies the facts of the Bible. And they also discussed history related to Israel, but not in Scripture, such as Alexander the Great, the Macabees, and Messada. After that we ate supper at Panera Bread and went shopping at an outlet mall. Quite a busy day!

Saturday we didn't do a whole lot, but we did get some garage sales in and bought flowers for the front yard. Monday we planted flowers and that evening went to a picnic at church.

The pictures are a compilation of the whole weekend and then some. We have been getting a TON of rain! Tuesday evening it poured! I included a little clip showing how fast the water was going in our drainage ditch out front. Also I have been doing some knitting, but most of what I have been doing are gifts (and can't be posted until they are given!). I included a picture of the purse I made for Katrin's first birthday (she is the daughter of my friend and fellow blogger, Jennifer). :)

Memorial Day Weekend



Oh, and one more thing... Angie had her first treatment of Remicade today. Thankfully she isn't allergic to it (they would have known in the first few minutes of infusion). Please help us pray that this works for her!

  4. Thanks! I just talked to Mom and she said that it could be a week or two before we know if the treatment is going to work for Angie. Angie is feeling fine though, no adverse effects.
